Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park attractions
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park attractions
The main sight is Great Falls an enormous collection of small waterfalls and rapids along a fast moving, but very wide stretch of the Potomac not far from Washington, D.C. Trails lead to ideal viewing points from both the Maryland and Virginian sides of the river, although the view from the island accessible from the Maryland side is more immersive.
Other sites of interest include old boats and canal locks along the canal, which you can find on display at the Great Falls area by the visitor center. The abandoned Gold Mine on the Maryland side near Georgetown is another interesting sight.
